Mrs. Zheng was originally smiling, but after seeing Gu Xiyu's eyes red and walking in, her face suddenly changed, she hurriedly got up and walked over, and asked nervously, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Xiyu bit her lip and didn't speak.

Mrs. Zheng naturally looked at Ye Qinglan and was stunned again. Ye Qinglan's face was also a little pale, obviously she didn't sleep well last night. What's wrong with the two? Could it be that it is awkward?

Ye Qinglan calmed down, stepped forward to salute first, and then said with a smile: "There are many disturbances here these days, and I thank my aunt for her hospitality." However, Sister Qiao'er's first birthday is approaching, and it's time for me to say goodbye and go home. ”

Mrs. Zheng was stunned again. Live well, why did Ye Qinglan suddenly want to leave and go back today? No wonder Yu'er is in such a low mood!

"Why don't you stay for a few more days and go back." Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "Sister Qiao'er's birthday banquet, I am also going to it." When the time comes, you can just go back with you. ”

Ye Qinglan smiled and responded, "Thank you aunt for your kindness, I'd better go back early." I didn't have much luggage with me, and the maids were packing, and it would be ready in an hour or two at most. Although the tone is soft, it is very resolute.

Mrs. Zheng didn't want to stay any longer, so she had to smile and nodded: "Since you want to go back, I won't keep you." However, I had to have lunch and go back. I'll tell the kitchen to prepare some of your favorite dishes. ”

People are so gracious, Ye Qinglan naturally won't be ignorant, so she got up with a smile and thanked her. The matter of leaving the Dingguo Mansion was thus settled.

Gu Xiyu was in a bad mood, she kept her head down and didn't speak, and her feelings were very low.

Mrs. Zheng looked distressed, but she couldn't comfort her. Ye Qinglan also took in Gu Xiyu's lonely affection, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart. But when he thought of Gu Xinian's condensed and cruel face last night, his intention to leave became more and more determined.

The lunch meal was very rich and exquisite, and many of them were Ye Qinglan's favorite dishes. In the past, she pretended to eat less. But today it is a standard loss of appetite. In front of a table of delicious food, I am not in the mood to move chopsticks. I forced myself to eat some, but I didn't know the taste.

Gu Xiyu looked down listlessly to count the rice grains, and the chopsticks were fiddling around in the bowl, but she didn't eat a few bites at all.

When Mrs. Zheng saw her like this, she was really distressed and whispered for a long time. Gu Xiyu not only didn't cheer up, but her eyes turned red again, her teeth bit her lip, she didn't say anything, and only looked at Ye Qinglan with those big black eyes.

Ye Qinglan secretly smiled helplessly. I had the heart to comfort a few words, but I found that all the words seemed pale and weak at this moment. I had to turn a blind eye ruthlessly.

Gu Xiyu is very dependent, and it is normal to be reluctant to her now. But. It will be fine in a few days. She didn't have to blame herself for it. She can't accompany Gu Xiyu forever, there will always be such a day, Gu Xiyu has to learn to face a qiē by herself......

Ye Qinglan thought silently in her heart, but the trace of gloom in her heart lingered.

After lunch, Ye Qinglan officially bid farewell to Mrs. Zheng.

The carriage was ready. The maids were busy packing. When I came, it was only two or three packages, and when I left, there were four or five more. There are all new clothes customized for her by Mrs. Zheng, as well as some jewelry and the like.

Mrs. Zheng led Gu Xiyu and personally sent Ye Qinglan to the gate, and earnestly advised: "If you are free in the future." You might as well come to the house more often. Xiyu and I welcome you at any time. ”

Although it was a polite remark, Mrs. Zheng said it sincerely and affectionately.

Ye Qinglan's heart warmed, and she responded with a smile. But it was clear in my heart. She would never set foot here again......

Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan sighed in her heart, and naturally looked at Gu Xiyu on the side. Gu Xiyu's eyes were already glowing, and she looked at Ye Qinglan pitifully. I had many words in my heart, but I couldn't say a single one.

Ye Qinglan stepped forward. Gently held Gu Xiyu's hand: "Cousin Xiyu, take care." ”

Gu Xiyu choked and nodded. The tears that I had endured for a long time finally fell.

Ye Qinglan's heart was sour and astringent, but she squeezed out the most gentle smile on her face: "Don't cry, it's not like there will be no chance to meet in the future." In a few days, Sister Qiao'er's birthday banquet, won't we be able to meet again? ”

"But, I can't bear to ...... you," Gu Xiyu sobbed aggrievedly. Since she was a child, she has always lived in her own world. Except for his family, he has almost never been so close to a girl of the same age. As soon as Ye Qinglan left like this, her heart suddenly emptied, as if something important had been taken away.

Ye Qinglan habitually hugged Gu Xiyu and whispered a few words.

At this moment, a handsome young man wearing a moon-white brocade robe appeared at the door, and walked over with an outstanding demeanor, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

Ye Qinglan saw him, but subconsciously snorted coldly in her heart. What is he here for? Did you hear that she was leaving, and I was too happy in my heart, so I came to "see her off"?

Ye Qinglan was still smiling, but there was a bit of vigilance and coldness in her eyes.

Gu Xinian knew that she was not good, but she didn't know what to do, walked forward with a smile, and said lightly: "Is Cousin Lan going back today?" No longer staying longer? ”

Hypocritical!

Ye Qinglan tugged at the corners of her lips, and responded detachedly and politely: "I've been bothering you in your mansion for so long, thanks to Cousin Gu's 'care everywhere', I thank Cousin Gu here." ”

Gu Xinian smiled, and said as if intentionally and unintentionally: "Cousin Lan said this, I am really ashamed. I owe a lot of credit to Cousin Lan. These days, Yu'er has been a lot more lively and cheerful, and she has become more assertive than before. This qiē is all the 'credit' of Cousin Lan. ”

Among the people present, probably only Ye Qinglan could hear the strong sarcasm in his gentle words.

Ye Qinglan has been holding back her sullen breath since last night, and now Gu Xinian took the initiative to send it to the door, so there is no reason not to return the respect, and replied with a smile: "Cousin Gu praised it falsely." I'm so smart, where can I compare to Cousin Gu. Even without me, Cousin Xiyu will get better and better under the care of Cousin Gu. ”

Gu Xinian could naturally understand Ye Qinglan's ridicule and mockery. Gu Xiyu is gloomy and withdrawn, Shen Qiuyu and him have to bear most of the responsibility, especially him. If he hadn't been impulsive back then, he wouldn't have listened to Shen Qiuyu's cry and made a wrong decision, and Gu Xiyu would have become what he was later......

Gu Xinian was poked in the softest place in his heart, and there was a sharp throbbing pain in his heart. I had to squeeze out a gentle and kind smile on my face: "What Cousin Lan said is reasonable. In the future, I will naturally take good care of Yu'er, so you don't have to 'worry' about Yu'er." ”

Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "Cousin Gu is a dignified seven-foot man, so naturally he will do what he says." I don't have to worry about it anymore. "It's just that Gu Xiyu will lose a friend.

Both of them were gentle on their faces, and their words were even more polite, which at first glance sounded too polite. In fact, secretly they are not giving in to each other!

Gu Xiyu glanced at the two of them in a daze, and a strange feeling suddenly floated in her heart. Big brother and Cousin Lan...... Doesn't seem quite right. But she couldn't tell what the blame was......

Mrs. Zheng is much more shrewd and sophisticated than Gu Xiyu, and she has long sensed the subtlety of the atmosphere between the two. The two of them obviously didn't get along.

This is strange, although Gu Xinian never gets close to women on weekdays, he is gentle and polite to any woman. There are almost no people who are as openly and secretly cynical as they are now.

Ye Qinglan's appearance was also very unexpected. She is gentle and gentle on weekdays, doesn't talk much, and is a quiet, gentle, intelligent and lovely girl. But what's going on today?

Thinking of Ye Qinglan's sudden resignation, a thought suddenly appeared in Mrs. Zheng's heart. Could it be that Ye Qinglan's insistence on leaving is related to Gu Xinian?

But no matter what she thinks, she can't think of anything to do with the two......

On this side, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian's comings and goings have come to an initial end.

Ye Qinglan didn't look at Gu Xinian anymore, smiled and said goodbye for the last time, and then got into the carriage with Gu Xiyu's teary eyes.

The moment the carriage was moving, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but lift the curtain and waved goodbye to Gu Xiyu. Gu Xiyu watched the carriage drift away until it disappeared, and tears fell down.

Mrs. Zheng coaxed a few words, but it was useless, and she glanced at Gu Xinian helplessly.

Gu Xinian stepped forward and coaxed in a low voice: "Yu'er, don't cry, she is just a guest in our house, and she has to go back." If you want to see her in the future, there are many opportunities. ”

Of course, this is to coax Gu Xiyu to be happy. In fact, he had already made up his mind to resolutely stop Ye Qinglan from meeting Gu Xiyu again in the future. That girl seems to be gentle and cute, but she is actually very cunning and scheming. The origin is even more mysterious. Where is the innocent sister who is her opponent, and she doesn't know when she is deceived and sold.

Gu Xiyu wiped her tears with her sleeve angrily, and accused: "It's all you, if it weren't for you, Cousin Lan wouldn't have left!" ”

Mrs. Zheng's expression moved, and she looked straight over.

Gu Xinian never thought that Gu Xiyu would suddenly come out with such a sentence, and he couldn't hide it for a while, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "How can there be such a thing, I get along very well with Cousin Lan, how can I want her to leave." Before Gu Xiyu could speak, he opened the topic again: "By the way, it's nothing anyway, how about I accompany you to paint?" ”

Gu Xiyu was in the mood to paint at the moment, and turned her head unhappily.

Gu Xinian was worried that she would show some clues in front of Mrs. Zheng, so he took her back to the Cold Moon Pavilion with half coaxing and half persuading.

Mrs. Zheng slowly followed behind the brother and sister, not knowing what she was thinking, her eyes were dark.
